Assignment begins below. Please take the course of your week to complete. If it takes you longer, that is okay. Be patient with yourself as you thoughtfully think through it all.
Goal
I heard Grant Cardone say in one of his books that “Success is my duty, obligation, and responsibility. He even sells that on a shirt. Then I heard Pastor Dharius Daniels say that God is anti predatory behavior, exploitation (Prov 11:26), and God detests dishonest scales (Prov 11:1)…however God is NOT…and hear this loud and clear y’all!!! GOD IS NOT ANTI PROFIT OR ANTI SUCCESS.
If success is my goal, then it is important to be clear about the messaging around what success is because people will have you believing that too much success is evil when that is not true. In your journal, talk about what you think success is and where your thought processes originate. Then take a look at those scriptures above and write about if those views are different than what you grew up thinking about success.
Keep in mind, we are talking about success in many different ways; financial, fitness, as a manager, as an entrepreneur, as a mother, as a wife or husband even…but “religion” will make you think success is the enemy. Let’s look at that for ourselves.
Identify
I didn’t mean to get all spiritual on you this week. Maybe I did. But honestly, in my search for my own success in exploring a new lifestyle change, I realize that we all have to dig way deeper within (spiritually) in order to truly find our way. If God put a thing in you, then it’s up to you to bring it out and gift the world with it.
Make a small list of 5 things you’d like to see some success in. When you find success in these 5 areas, who will benefit? Write down exactly who!
